News of Emmanuel Emenike’s retirement from the Super Eagles went round recently leaving many people puzzled as to what may have happened to warrant such a sudden turn of events.
Investigations revealed that his retirement may have something to do with his goal drought for the Super Eagles for up to two years now.
A report by Vanguard recently explained that Sunday Oliseh was on the verge of sidelining Emmanuel Emenike from next month’s World Cup qualifier against Swaziland after the striker failed to deliver in four matches under the new Eagles coach.
Oliseh was said to have been very fond of Emenike after emerging top Eagles’ scorer at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa but the emotions have now turned sour due to Emenike’s inability to dazzle on the field of play.
A top source close to the team disclosed to a media outfit, “Oliseh is disappointed Emenike has not justified the confidence he has in him.
“He has been given his chance by the coach, who is now seriously considering Odion Ighalo to lead his attack against Swaziland next month.”
Not too long after this was revealed, Emenike shocked everyone with the announcement of his retirement.
In his emotional goodbye message, the Al Ain striker controversially said, “My AFCON top scorer award speaks a lot about my commitment and dedication to the team. Super Eagles is a camp not a family house, and it shouldn’t be a threat zone for any individual. I have done according to our national anthem.
He added, “For every disappointed fan, maybe due to my inability to re-establish my goal scoring instinct for Super Eagles, I will like to say I’m sorry but the ones I had scored counted well for the team. As long as Nigeria remains, you and I will always remember the name ‘Emenike’.
